--- Comment #3 from Alexandre Oliva <aoliva at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I'm looking at a case in which __clang__ is defined, despite compiling with
GCC, and "%I...%p" parsing fails because the hack to pass state around doesn't
work when __clang__ is defined.
This got me thinking that there are more than enough bits in struct tm to
encode all of __time_get_state in it, even with redundancy, so that overwritten
fields could get recovered. I'm thinking that, before calling do_get, get
would transfer its state onto struct tm in such a recoverable way, and, after
calling it, it would restore state from struct tm and remove the extra
out-of-range encodings. Our do_get, in turn, would extract state from struct
tm, do its current job, and then pack the state back into struct tm.
AFAICT this could be put in in an ABI-compatible way, dropping the hack and
enabling libstdc++-specific do_get specializations to deal with such extended
states, should we document them.
Has anything along these lines already been considered and ruled out?
